What's wrong with using Delph and having a proper look at him? Some people read the worst into everything.

He needs to stay injury free first. Take it from there

He is very self critical. Which shows he wants to improve. Think he is going to be a massive player for Villa .........

Paid mad money for him imo, but i suppose the way its going AM has gotta hope he comes good as he's running out of players to pin his hopes on. Won't be long now before we get the first "Ireland not mad at all" or "Beye impresses in training" headlines.

He certainly is ready for the Premier League. The only reason he hasn't figured more is because of a very serious injury.
Don't be a prick now Alex.

Indeed, a cock-eyed blindman could see that he has always looked the part when he's been fit to play, so somewhat strange to be saying he has to prove himself.  It might be AM letting Delph know he's in his plans and the chance is there for him but strange way of putting it.

Little reminder of what he was doing a few years back...



...get his confidence back up and a full pre season in him and we've got a hell of a player on our hands!

Says Mcleish!! The man that paid £6m for that lankey waste of space Zigic! And £3m for Curtis Davies!!!

What does he know about paying large decent sums for players!!  He should keep his mouth shut the bluenose pr#*k!!

I'll cast judgement on who he buys this summer - if any!!! Resign now before you are sacked!!

Yes, you're really showing admirable restraint in reserving judgement on the manager. Well done you.

And wasn't it widely reported that zigic was a "present" from the board, rather than McLeish's target?
